Macmillan in England

With the support of our fundraisers and partners in England, Macmillan is providing practical, medical, emotional and financial help to people affected by cancer. The government wants more decisions to be made locally, so we’re campaigning to make sure everyone with cancer receives the right level of treatment and support.

For the first time, Macmillan research has revealed the full cost of hospital parking in England. While some hospitals offer free parking to cancer patients, others charge up to £3 an hour for parking.

Support for women living with the BRCA 1/2 gene mutation in East Kent has been given a boost thanks to a grant from Macmillan Cancer Support. The BRCA Kent group supports women who have been identified as having an inherited BRCA 1/ 2 gene mutation which means that their likelihood of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer is much greater than the general population.

Telford and Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has been working with Macmillan Cancer Support to create a brand new role to oversee the work aimed at bettering the area's one-year cancer survival rates.

Every day, 740 people in England are hit with the news that they have cancer, while 350 people die from the disease. The population of England living with and beyond cancer is set to rise to 2.5 million by 2020 and to 3.4 million by 2030.

We are providing £3.5 million and working in partnership with the Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust to build a new state-of-the-art cancer unit, to be named the Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre.

In England, Macmillan campaigns for a better deal for people affected by cancer. We believe that everyone should be entitled to the best cancer treatment and support, regardless of who they are and where they live.
